XFX GeForce 6200 OC'ing problem. :(

Hi, I just bought a XFX 6200 256mb AGP 8x a couple days ago...everything was fine with it, and then I tried to overclock it. It OC'd fine (from 350/532 to 420/620), and I was getting a pretty good FPS boost with most of my games. But now all my games hang and freeze when I try to play them? I've been greeted by BSODs about 3 times telling me "nv4_disp" or "nv4_disp.dll" have had issues.

I installed RivaTuner to unlock the OC'ing capabilities on the card. As soon as I uninstall RivaTuner and reset the clocks to default, all my games work fine again...is there no hope for me oc'ing this card?

I downloaded the latest drivers off of the Nvidia site...(84.21 I think), so I'm not sure what to do about OC'ing it...any help? Thanks in advance.

Well I was getting around 8fps boosts...and games were a hell of a lot smoother...it was working before, so many it was just running too high or something...

I have the newer core, so it can't be unlocked.

Well on the counterstrike:source stres test, it's more like 37fps-ish, then 45fps-ish when OC'd...

Haven't really checked when playing games, but it's noticeably smoother.

Okay, I tried lowering the clock frequencies used, but the game's still crashed and hanged. I then tried to just leave the clock frequencies on stock settings, and the games still hanged. :/

Only after I disabled overclocking and uninstalled RivaTuner, and restarted my PC did the games stop hanging...is there not hope?

Help..anyone?

Well even when I haven't even touched the clock frequencies, but overclocking is enabled, my games hang...so it can be that the card can't handle the speeds. :/

Bump.

Alright, another issue I'm getting is that the card's hitting like 73~76 degrees, and it's not even overclocked.

Should I get a new cooler?
